I'm trying to extract the :rid to my req.params but I get two values the rid and the script file.
here is the console.log picture
my route code
router.get('/room/:rid', async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.params);
res.render('room', { roomId: req.params.rid });
});
my dashboard code to redirect the user to room.ejs when the user click
function goto(){
var roomID = document.getElementById("roomID").value;
window.location.replace(`/room/${roomID}`);
}
and my room.ejs head
<script src="this.js" defer></script>
Change this:
<script src="this.js" defer></script>
to this:
<script src="/this.js" defer></script>
Assuming that script was present in a web page called /room, then when the browser sees a request for "this.js", it will combine that with the path of the page and ask for /room/this.js which will hit your /room/:rid route which is not what you want.
Generally, you always want script file paths to be absolute paths (start with a /) so they are fixed and not dependent upon the path of the page they are contained in .
